I'd be interested to know if this order is for second hand two seaters as suggested above, or new single seat Hawk 200s (or a mix of the two types). Always had a soft spot for the Hawk 200, If they had been bought for the RAF for home AD (in addition to the Phoon) then we'd hahve a lot more sqns in service today given their lower costs to buy/run. More than adequate fo intercepting a hijacked airliner or a 1950s vintage Russian bomber...
